RIP to quite possibly the peak of desktop macs and the greatest macOS workhorse ever. Whisper quiet, insane perforamnce and IO, industry leading screen, and sexy space gray case. And it runs 10.14.6 so 32bit and 64bit compatible.

I sold mine and built a PC to replace it. Render test from Blender took 4.5 minutes on the iMac Pro, and 12 seconds on the PC. The iMac Pro GPU is pathetic. Also, the lack of Nvidia options in MacOS killed it for me for 3D work. :(

Definitely collectible. All the Intel macs will be snapped up.

Not really sure about the collectability. It was, by many accounts, an overpriced stopgap machine. Intel Macs will be available on the secondary market for years to come. On top of that a crap ton of the Intel Macs in use today will still be in use... also for years to come. I think the iMac Pro will go the route of the 12" Macbook regarding collectability.

Had one for about a year, beautiful machine.. notice how many people have gotten rid of theirs, mostly based on lack of upgradability. Wish Apple would take notice how wasteful their designs can be.

I tried to get more power for cpu rendering by taking control of the fans but then it got super loud and I couldn’t stand to think about dust build up. When pro res finally came to Adobe on the PC I had to bail. But it sure looked great on my desktop.

exactly why I got rid of mine.
loved it but upgradability was the issue. I wont be getting an AIO ever again for my main work machine, just too limited. But I know I am in a small minority, and the imac is great for a lot of people.

It was the advent of GPU rendering that killed my imac pro. Apple simply do not support this area enough, and I have doubts they will in the future.

Bought a nearly maxed out iMac Pro back in January 2018 and loved it from day one. Such a workhorse machine that has churned thru many TB of 6K and 8K footage. I've had iMacs for a while and it's easily been my favorite. Also greatly prefer the space gray finish.

On to the next chapter, tho. Looking forward to getting a high end M1 or M2 iMac down the road.

AMAZING machine, absolutely love using mine. Hated the regular iMac, it was so loud. And as someone that makes orchestral music (so I need a LOT of power) and constantly records audio, staying silent&cool is a must.

It really is great for pro audio users. I am still being cautious around the upcoming macs, and will keep my iMac Pro until the next generation of macs with Apple Silicon come out (so probably until 2022).

iMac Pros haven't been upgradable for well over a decade. I find it difficult to believe that people who want to buy upgradable "pro" machines are still doing so little homework that they only find this out afterwards.
 
I got one of these at my old job around the time they came out. So quiet for how powerful they were. It was amazing at the time! RIP.
 
this was a sales trick don't worry:
